fict Which is Going on Between the
Gauls and the Germans.
BERLIN, July 16.-[Copyrighted in 1887
bv the New York Associated Press 1.-The
tension of feeling toward France has re-
leased since the French fete. The day has
passed without the occurrence OF any anti
German demonstration The accounts in
the German papers OF the incidents in Paris
Thursday present that the repression OF
the popular outhurst was solely accom-
plished by the presence OF such masses OF
troops all along the route travelled by
President Grevy and his ministers on
their way to the review at Longchamp as
had not been seen in Paris since the days
of the empire and the papers seek to prove
that the populace W. re in reality unable to
make demonstration and that extra or
binary precautions had been taken
bv the Government. Although sue
cessful in a Paralysis, the Chauvln-
ists had given a ficticious aspect
10 the calmness which characterized the
day. The German embassy in Paris was
epecially guarded. There was no appear
ance of troops in front OF the building, but
a body Of cavalry was kept on the alert
and moving in the vicinity from early
morning till midnight.
A CALMER MOOD TOWARD THE FRENCH
can be assured, however, only by the ces-
sation of the system of systemac persecu-
ton of German residents in French towns.
Yet the tendency seems all the other way.
The Chauvinist press clamor for the
names and addresses of Germans who have
places of business in French towns and
warn members of the Patriotic League not
to have any dealings with them. Minor
German employees are being hunted out OF
their places by the hundreds weekly and it
ia estimated that Germans holding situa-
tions in France, who last year numbered
81 GOO, have been decreased one-half within
six months. Count Won Munston, the
German ambassador at Paris, is having a
constant stream OF appeals for help against
the outrages being perpetrated upon the
Germans. The sufferers are in the main
skilled workmen, who find employment in
the manufacturing centers OF France. These
appeals were made the subject of diplo-
matte representation to M. FlOurens, for
egn minister, by Count Won Munston on
Wednesday last. The Count has followed
his aral representation with written
remonstrance, to which the French mini
ter, Flourens, will
HAVE TO MAKE WRITTEN REPLY.

A Fatal Collision.

| ST. THOMAS, Ont, July 15.-A terrible
accident occurred at the crossing of the
Grand Trunk and Michigan Central Rail.
roads in this city about o'clock this
evening. An excursion train on the Grand
Trunk from Port Stanley ran into a pass
ing freight train on the Michigan Central,
made up OF a number of cars laden with
oil. The engine crashed into one of these
cars, when the oil imme diately took fire
and burned with great fierceness, commu.
nicating to the cars on both trains and ex-
tending to Griffin's warehouse, coal and
lime she 1s adjoining the track, and John
Campbell's dwelling on the east, all of
which were burned to the ground with
their contents. Engineer Donnelly, OF the
excursion train, was
BURNED IN THE WRECK.
His fireman jumped and escaped with slight
injuries. The forward car of the excursion
train was filled with passengers who made
frantic efforts to escape, but, notwith-
standing hundreds of brave and willing
hands were immediately at work to assist
in their rescue. it is feared q number of
lives have been lost, and that they will be
BURNED BEYOND RECOGNITION
before their bodies can be got out of the
wreck. At O'Clock, when a thousand peo-
pie were crowdlng around the burning pile,
one of the oil tanks On the burning cars
suddenly exploded throwing hundreds to
the ground with great force and scattering
fire in all directions. and severely, perhaps
fatally injuring many. At $50 O'Clock,
nine bodies were taken out. They were
burned to crisp.
is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
to ascertain with any certainty the names
of those lost in the wreck until the arrival
of the train from Port Stanley. There are
many conflicting rumors, but it seems
almost certain that Engineer II. Donnelly,
Mr.. Zealand, clerk in J. & w. Nickel
borough's dry good store, and child and
wife and child of James Smithers, dry
goods merchant, were burned to death. A
son OF Mr.. Potts, master mechanic of the
Michigan Central Railroad. was burned on
the neck. and scores OF others who
were taken to their homes be-
fore their names could be learned.
Gangs of men, under the direction of Super
intendent Morford and Assistant Superin.
tendent Morehead, of the Michigan Central
railroad, and J. Stewart, agent for the
Grand Trunk railroad, are hard at work
removing the debris, and it isexpected that
the track will be cleared by daylight. All
telegraph wires were destroyed. and several
poles were burned, thus interrupting COM
munication.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
ST. THOMAS, July 15.-An excursion
train on the London & Port Stanley rail-
road was run into this evening at a cross
ing in this city by Canada Southern
freight train. The engine of the freight
train went clear through the passenger
train and rolled over into ditch. 1t is
that the engineer is under his
engine, and that one lady passenger has
been burned to death and that several
others are missing.

An Old Lady With History.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. San aged
woman, Mrs. Mana Antonio Richardson,
who lived in San Francisco when il was
known as Yerba Buena, and boosted only
of the Franciscan Mission Dolores and the
Mexican Garrison at the Presidio, died last
week in the pretty little town San Quentin,
almost in the shadow of the grim walls of
the state prison. She was 81 at the time
of her death, but her memory was clear
until few months ago, and up to a few
weeks before her death, she worked every
day in her beautiful flower garden.
Death seemed to be simply the result
of old age, as she was never troubled
by illness. She was the daughter of Lieut..
Martinez, who commanded the Mexican
garrison at the Presidio, and was born
there June Is, 1903 She married. 1925,

A MEAN OUTRAGE.
A Young Lady MysteriOusly Sh0rn
of Her TreSSeS.

Perry, Mo-, Aug. 9.-On Sunday night,
Miss Ella Griffin, the 16-year-old daughter
of David Griffin, residing about seven
miles east of this city, retired for the
night, wearing a luxuriant growth Of
auburn hair, of which she was very proud
but upon rising this morning she W as hor
rifed to find herself shorn of those beauti-
full tresses.
Some evil-disposed persons at the dead
hour of night had slipped into the young
lsdy's bed-chamber and Invested her of her
hair by cutting it off short while she was
asleep. There was no one in the room save
the young lady's little 4-year-old nephew.
The mother of the girl stated that during
the night she heard the dog bark, and i'm
agined she heard some one in the house,
but subsequently dismissed the matter,
thinking it the result of Imagination. The
young lady can not be prevailed upon to
sleep in the room again
No trace of the intruder nor trace of the
missing tresses can be obtained.

WAS 1T MURDER!
The Body of a Miner Found I'm
der Very Peculiar Cir
cumStanceS.

Lexington, Mo-, Aug. Sat O'Clock
Saturday Thomas Kelley and Louis
Bsuerele, employed at the coal mines above
town, were coming home from their work
when at the Seawell mine, 3 short distance
west of the city, they found the dead body
of George Kinney, a miner who worked in
the mine operated by Henry Macy, of
Kansas City. While Bauerele stood guard
at the remains Kelley sent for the coroner,
leaving the body just as il was found until
the arrival of that officer. Ii was thought
that the man had been run over by train,
but as he was seen alive after all the regu-
lar trains had passed, and as his body was
found in such position as to have made it
highly improbable that the extra going
west struck him, theory that murder had
been done was the inevitable conclusion.
There was no bruise about the body. ex-
cept on the head, which showed but one
cut, from which large quantity of brains
had oozed. There was no mark or cut of
any sort upon the strw hat found standing
on its brim between two ties, with the
crown next to the track. The head was
several inches from the end of the ties, and
there was no blood on the ties.
Two men last seen with Kinney were
suspected, aud telephone messages were
sent to all the mines asking that these men,
if they came to the mine, be held. Con-
stable Young started in pursuit, and when
near Wellington he overlook the men,
whom he arrested and brought back to
this city. They have been clearly identi-
fed as having been with Kinney last night,
nor do they deny this, but claim they know
nothing of his death. They give their
names as James Carney and Charles Camp
bell, but refuse to state where they are
from. They are railroad laborers.
Coroner Mcdonald says it is utterly ina
possible for the man to have been killed
by the train from the surround ngs of the
body and the position in which it lay.
The men were greatly unstrung when
brought here, and were, at their request,
permitted to take a drink to steady their
nerves. The miners are worked up con-
over Kinney's death and the
railroad laborers are already looking up
testimony for their friends.

4 Singular Duel.

Toledo, o.. August l0.-Letters have
been received by w. c. Martina, of Next
CO, prominent coffee merchant who j.
registered al the Burnett House. The let
tiers were written by A. A. Germane, a
cufiee buyer in Eastern Mexico and a cor
respondent of w. c. Martina. The letters
were delayed, and have just been received.
The following letter gives an account OF
a deadly duel between Senior Victoria, a
weli-known mining speculator, and Senior
Pedrazo, one OF the proprietors of the
schooner fernando Cortez:
Tampico, May %, lSS7.-W. c. Marti-
no: Arrived two weeks ago. Business is
good. You remember, suppose. what /
wrote you shout Victoria and Pedrazo. |
have been looking up their deaths, and
find there is mystery there that ought TO
be cleared up. A few weeks ago the two
met at a ball given here by one of the chief
ladies of the Spanish society.
The gentlemen. while heated with wine,
quarreled in the presence of the lady
whom both admired. / cannot find out
what the quarrel was about, but it is APP
parent that both we're TO blame. Senior
Victoria challenged Senior Pedrazo. The
latter accepted the challenge and stipula-
ted that the duel must take place in
dark room. AS he had the choice of wea-
pons he demanded that Victoria meet him
in the room in which was to be placed 100
tarantulas of the most poisonous kind.
According to agreement they would devote
their energies to killing the tarantulas in
stead OF each other. Neither must leave
the room until all the poisonous spiders
were killed.
Pedrazo, it is drought, expected that
Victoria would never accept the weapons,
but Victoria declined to back down and
the duel was fought. All that is known
about it is that it was fought in room as
dark as a dungeon. There we're no seconds
and no one at Tampico suspected the truth.
When the doors were broken open both
men were found on the floor dead, sur
by dead and living horrible
spiders.
In spite of the efforts of friends to hush
it up, ugly rumors of the truth leaked out.
An iuvestip alton was promised, but
friends interfered and nothing has been
done about the duel.

Woodstock, n. B., Aug. 10.-The people

strange and inexplicable scenes which for
the past twenty-four hours have been en-
acted in little two-story frame house on
Victoria street, occupied by Reginald G.
Hoyt, picture-frame dealer. His family.
consisting of his wife, five children and
two neices. are in a state of great mental
fear and anxiety, and will probably vacate
the house tonight. Since IL o'clock yes
teraay morning no less than forty fires
have broken out In various parts of the
house, and bedding, furniture, window
shades, clothing and various household
articles have been partially destroyed.
Only untiring vigilance has prevented the
house and Its contents from burn ing to the
ground, and this would have caused the
destruction of other buildings in the vi
cinity.
These fires can be traced to no human
agency, and even the most scepticai are
staggered. Without premonition and with
no lamps lighted or stoves in use, various
articles would burst into flames. Now it
would be a curtain high up out of reach,
then bed quilt In another room would be-
gin TO smoke and shoulder, and, as IL to
still further nonplus the theories, a carpet
covered lounge was found. to be all afire
underneath, among the jute stretched above
the springs. A basket of clothes of the
shed burst into flames and the basket itself
was partially consumed. A child's dress
hanging on hook, feather bed, straw
mattress were ignited and would have been
consumed but for water poured on them.
